2023 Map of Glacier

About this map

The community of Glacier serves as the focal point of this survey in the North Cascades, positioned along the banks of the North Fork Nooksack River. Located at the edge of the Mount Baker National Forest, the settlement is surrounded by steep terrain defined by Kaisoots Mtn and Church Mtn. A network of logging and access roads, including Cornell Creek Rd and Miller Way, branches out from the river valley, while the Glacier Cem provides a point of interest for genealogists tracking early residents of this mountain outpost. To the north, the landscape rises sharply toward Canyon Ridge and West Church Ridge. Local water sources such as Canyon Creek and Gallop Creek drain into the primary river, illustrating a drainage pattern that has long dictated the layout of settlements and transport routes in Whatcom County.
